How to calculate the weight of stone products?
The density of most stones range from 2700 to 3000 kilogram per cube meter. The light coloured stone is less heavy while the dark coloured stone is heavy, however we can calculate all that out for you and advise so no need to worry.

Tiles in 1cm (3/8") thickness will be around 28 kilogram (62LB) per square meter, or 5.8LB per square foot.
Slabs, countertops, vanity tops, tiles in 2cm (3/4") will be around 56KGS per SQM. Most of the carved fireplace mantels will be around 400KGS each unit including package.
